I had noticeably less eye strain. <br /><br />Still, I just don't think there will be wide spread adoption of the glasses. There are a bunch of people making TV's that don't need glasses, but you really have to sit in the sweet spot.<br /><br /><i> Frankly, I'd rather use a laptop or an iPhone then an ereader</i><br /><br />Oddly, that is one of my irritations right now. The kindle became so popular (which was never going to sell BTW) that now all these knock offs are trying to load them up to do all sorts of things. Which seems ridiculous to me. If we wanted an ebook reader to do all sorts of things - we'd just buy a laptop. It does those things really well. The power of the kindle was the wireless download. <br /><br />If you load these things up with all kinds of crappy features - it defeats the simplicity. But hey - at least they are making them waterproof now.

But there are multiple sporting events per day, every day. And ESPN is going to start broadcasting sports in 3D.<br /><br />Sports fans were the primary driver behind the adoption of the original big screen projection TVs, and I think they will be the driver here.Mr. Snarkolepsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153922402945825178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-62522298408444010292010-01-11T21:31:24.819-08:002010-01-11T21:31:24.819-08:00It's not that things are getting better, it...It's not that things are getting better, it's that they stopped getting worse. I have no doubt that they'll be longer lines next year. I appreciate your comments though because I also got the impression that it was very successful just from the buzz. Frankly, I'd rather use a laptop or an iPhone then an ereader and all this 3D technology is just crap to try and make it look like the next big thing is on the way, when it pales in comparison to the advancement we saw with DVD, then DVR, then HDTV. Big freakin' deal if 4 movies a year make you wear geeky glasses to enjoy them. I'd be more impressed by more 100 inch flat screens.Davis Freeberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697874317490303586noreply@blogger.com
